Laparoscopic surgery involves smaller incisions, less scarring, and sometimes
less pain than traditional open surgery.

To help you understand how Dr. Machado’s rate of laparoscopic hernia
surgery compares to a typical doctor who performs hernia surgeries:

We first measure how many of Dr. Machado’s hernia surgeries were
performed laparoscopically.

We then analyze the typical practices of all other doctors in the United
States who perform hernia surgeries, using a data-driven model to predict
the rate of laparoscopic hernia surgeries for patients like
Dr. Machado’s.

By comparing these two numbers, you can see whether Dr. Machado’s
rate of laparoscopic hernia surgery is lower than, similar to, or higher than
predicted.

This prediction adjusts based on the types of patients the doctor sees, so a
doctor who treats sicker patients may have a different predicted rate than a
doctor who treats healthier patients.
